POKER-SUPPO RT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,807, dated April 29, 1902.

Original application filed February 4, 1897, Serial No. 621,994.. Divided and this application filed November 19, 1901. Serial No. 82,946. (Remodel) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN R. CAHOONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Poker-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in poker-supports for stoves and forms a division of my pending application No. 621,994, February 4, 1897.

The object of this invention is to provide a convenient means whereby a poker may be retained in a fixed place and at the same time be convenient to the attendant.

A further object of the invention is to provide a means whereby the place for a poker may be quickly found both'in the daylight and darkness.

Many other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and be particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a stove, showing my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the same.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral l indicates a stove of usual construction, hav.

ing its top extending over the sides, forming a flange 2, and the hearth also extending beyond said sides, forming a similar lower flange 3. In the upper flange 2 is .a perforation'4,

having a wide countersink or bevel 5, and approximately under said perforation and in the lower flange 3 is preferably an elongated opening 6 for the reception of the lower end of the poker 7.

This improvement is designed more especially to enable one to have a support at hand for a poker and to have a place which can be quickly located either in the daylight or darkness. For instance, should it be desired to find the perforation for the poker the attendant knows approximately its location and, by

his or her judgment points the end in or about;

this particular spot and upon his feeling the bevel knows the perforation is near, whereupon the point will slide down the incline into its place. By reason of the opening being elongated and under the perforation in naturally fall flangehaving an opening therein approximately under the perforation in the upper flange to form a guide for the lower end of the poker, substantially as shown and described.

2.A means for supporting a poker on a stove, comprising an upper flange provided with'a countersunk perforation, and a lower flange having a guide therein to receive the lower end of the poker, substantially as shown and described.

3. A meansfor supporting a poker on a 'stove,"comprising.an" upper flange provided with'a bevel perforation, and a lower flange .havingan ope'ningtherein which is larger than the opening in the upper flange, substa'ntiallyas shown and described.

' 4.-Ame a'ns for supporting a poker on a stove, comprising an upper flange provided with'a bevel-perforation, and a lower flange having an elongated opening therein approximately under the bevel perforation in the upper flange, substantially as shown and de scribed.

5. A means for supporting a poker on a stove, comprising an upper. flange provided "witha perforation, and a lower flange having a perforation which is larger than the perforation in the upper flange to form a guide for the lower end of the poker, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have. hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
